This topic describes how Shop-Trak consumes licenses and how sessions can be monitored and removed.
Shop-Trak consumes a license when an employee logs on to Shop Floor using a Shop-Trak Employee ID and clicks Send. Licenses are released when employees finish their activities, select Done, and are returned to the Shop Floor employee prompt screen.
Each workstation must have a unique computer name. If an employee is logged on to a Shop Floor session on one workstation, and attempts to log on to an additional workstation, a message displays asking "The user "<user name>" is already logged on, would you like to remove this session and log on?" If the employee clicks Yes, the first session's license is released and a new license is issued for the second workstation. Note that the original Shop Floor session on the first workstation is still active. If the employee accesses that session again, a message displays stating "Your Shop-Trak session has been terminated. You must exit Shop-Trak and restart."
Supervisors and Administrators use the Shop-Trak License Monitor utility form to view and delete Shop Floor sessions. A Shop Floor session may need to be deleted if the employee left work for the day and did not complete a Shop-Trak activity at the workstation. The license for the session stays in use until the employee signs out or until the session is deleted using the License Monitor utility.
To release a Shop Floor license:
Releasing the license will not interrupt any activity currently taking place at the workstation. If the employee tries to go back and access the session again, a message displays stating "Your Shop-Trak session has been terminated. You must exit Shop-Trak and restart."
